maybe the 2nd set will screw Pitts rhythm. They've swept every game but 6 this entire season.
nevermind, it just made them mad. Pitt looking good in 3rd.flintdragon said:

Great match in set 4 though
Pitt in real trouble here
This is great to watch!
HEADED TO SET 5
This should be a final 4 matchup…not a sweet 16. Two very strong teams
Kentucky and Pitt into the sweet sixteen!
Florida - Stanford at 6 then Louisville - Purdue to follow!

I think Florida Stanford has the potential to be a really really good match up
Go Gators!
The star from Colorado State Malaya Jones has entered the portal
Gotta get one
Supposedly there's already more girls in the portal than last year
Florida and Stanford split the first two sets
Stanford takes set 3 26-24
Stanford takes down Florida in the 4th set 29-27! This was such a good match
Louisville easily takes down Purdue 3-0

OH HOW SWEET IT IS! That's right, I hope you enjoyed your week off, but the dance continues!! Our wonderful ladies will continue their sensational season Friday night in Lincoln, Nebraska. 6pm we will be facing against the storied volleyball program of Wisconsin in a sweet sixteen matchup!
As many of you know, we already faced Wisconsin at their place in September and got swept 3-0. However, the match was closer than the score indicates. Both teams are different teams in December and thankfully the match won't be in their hostile Madison environment again. It'll be in Nebraska and those Nebraska volleyball fans hate Wisconsin, so hopefully there's a large contingent of Cornhuskers cheering for us lol!
In that first match we really struggled with their block. As most teams do. They have maybe the tallest lineup in the country. They have middles that are 6'9, 6'6, and 6'3, as well as pins that are 6'4 and 6'2!
So it'll be up to the coaches to decide if we need to set up hits quickly to keep them from forming a block, or if we focus on angling our shots to hit the ball off their hands! It'll probably out be both, we just have to have great first passes and allow Maddie Waak to dictate the offense! Humphrey and Hellmuth really struggled offensively in that first matchup and could not work around their block. We also had minimal blocks and 13 service errors! We got to have an outside presence from Hellmuth/Humphrey! Let's tool with their block, let's get some tips in, so we can open up quick and easy sets for Perkins and Cos-Okpalla! We desperately need a serving hero! Someone to step in and earn 3 or more aces!
They do have a well rounded offense, but everything they do runs through reigning national player of the year Sarah Franklin who averages 4.48 kills per set! They do love to set their middles! They all can swing exceptionally well and have crazy height to help! 3 of their middles average over a block per set! We just have to keep them out of system!
So if we can play more efficiently and serve tough, we will have a chance! We are a completely different team than we were in September. There's a reason we're still playing midway into December. Our girls are fighters, they're warriors, they're resilient! Nobody outside of Reed Arena believed we could even be in this position. We're playing amazing volleyball right now, and yes this will be a tall task, but we're up for the challenge! Let's put their backs against the wall and attack attack attack! Wisconsin is main stay in the elite 8 and final four, their entire fan base is looking ahead to a potential elite 8 matchup with Nebraska who they've gotten swept by twice this season. Let them focus on Nebraska… Logan Lednicky and the gang will just make them pay! Let's go BTHO Wisconsin and let's go make some history! WHY NOT US!

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Wow Creighton is dominating the whole set and tu gets their first lead at 25 and wins 26-24
Crushing set loss for Creighton
Do our yell leaders, dance team, or Hullabaloo go? It seems most if not all, have some spirit squad or band with them.
'90
Hopefully Creighton will get back on track ans send tu packing!
I hope so! At the least the dance team but they haven't posted anythingGigemchicken90 said:
